Cat 8 Ethernet Cable 50 ft, SFTP Gold Plated RJ45 Shielded LAN Network Cable Outdoor, Ethernet Cable Heavy Duty High Speed 40Gbps 2000Mhz,LAN Cable for Gaming/Waterproof/Modem/PS5/4/3 (15 Clips)

I needed an Ethernet cable for my son to connect to his Xbox, so picked this one up. We did a speed test before and after using this cable, and we actually saw an increase in internet speed. The other cable was a few years old and it was a 100ft cable, so a speed increase was not a surprise, however it was good to see that this cable did show the increase we expected and even a little bit more. The cable quality is good and this feels like a cable that will last. Im glad it came with some clips for installation, because we needed some. So that was a nice bonus. The cable is super easy to connect, since these ethernet cables just clip right in, and it feels secure when it is connected. We are very happy with this cable and would recommend it.

I’m using this cable to connect my router in our living room to the entertainment center at the other end of the house. I’m running it through the floor, across the ceiling of the basement, into a crawl space, through the floor again. I was pleasantly surprised that it came with a handful of single-nail cable straps! The tab on one of the ends isn’t quite as springy as I’d like, which means I have to pull it out a bit sometimes to get the “click” when plugging it in. But it’s possible I was too rough on it while pushing it through the holes in the floor, so can’t really say if that’sa sturdiness problem. It has been in place for over a week now, and it’s working well. This length was just right for my need.

I read that a CAT 8 would be over kill for a home set up but I love it with myself gaming as well as my husband and my kids using their electronics. It’s a great length as well.

This 50 ft. cable has a good weight to it due to the purity of the copper wires it uses. The connectors and boots are done well. Im sure this cable is going to last for many years to come. It was nice to have some cable clamp/mounts included in case you want use them. Im very pleased with this cable and happy that I got it.

This was used to run a direct line from my router in the hallway under the carpet and into my office. So far after using for awhile not only are our speeds fast but a visual inspection of the cable under the carpet appears that it is holding up quite well. Its flexible enough too that its not a pain to work with. Id defintely recommend.

Cat 8? That seems pretty future proof. My entire home is Cat 5 and Cat 6, but a Cat 8 is ready for upgrades and improvements that we havent seen yet. Ill be testing the weather proof features immediately. Ive strung this cable out across the yard, to a WIFI repeater on a pole. And, it is the beginning of spring - there are a lot of storms due in the near future!
